iphoneSafeAreaInsets()

[Ralph DiMola]

The corners are curved so rectangular safe areas are:
1) portrait==> from the bottom of the notch to the top of the corners at
bottom full width of the screen.
2) Landscape there are 2 options:
   a) Notch on left ==> from the right of the notch on left to the full
right side of screen. The height from the bottom of the top right corner to
the top of the bottom right corner.
   OR
   b) Notch on left ==> from the right of the notch on left to the left of
both right corners and full height screen height.

   So in landscape it's either full screen height or full screen
width(except for the notch)


If the notch is on the right it's the same but reversed.

Now you can use the areas beyond the corners but the corners of your card
will be cut off by the rounded screen corners

Subject: iphoneSafeAreaInsets() 

I was updating a library to use the new iphoneSafeAreaInsets() for retuning
the inset of the iPhoneX notch. I was surprised to see that it reports an
inset on both left and right sides when in landscape even though the notch
is only on one side. I would have expected an iPhone in landscape to report
an inset on the bottom (for the home indicator, which it does report) and on
whichever side the notch was actually on. While this can usually be figured
out with  mobileDeviceOrientation()  (though not always) it seems like an
extra step in addition to just being inaccurate about one side. Am I missing
something or should this be a bug?
